BanditDB runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 195 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 17 Oct 2026.
Persistent decision memory for agents — learns which action works in which context
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check BanditDB every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

}Put your own values in place of
<BANDITDB_URL> (Base URL of the BanditDB server, e.g. http://localhost:8080 or https://your-instance.api.banditdb.com. Try it against the public sandbox at https://sandbox.banditdb.com before running your own), <BANDITDB_API_KEY> (API key. A writer-role key is enough for get_intuition and record_outcome; admin is needed to create or delete campaigns).
The author’s registry entry marks them as required.
